Coming from a soon to be former subscriber, avoid this platform at all costs. I paid for the yearly plan, to which I can’t even use. Sent an email to support and I’m currently on day 4 of no response. Tried asking around on their discord server for any help/suggestions, which lead to nothing as well. Completely fraudulent service, I advise you to stay away.

Charged my card full price for "free" trial and wasn't not allowing me to access services on the trial.
I tried to get a free trial for both pro and premium separately since the first one I tried wouldn't allow me to use the service but I had the same issue with the other of trying to click on the button that would allow me to access the player and it kept telling me that my subscription had ended despite me having not even had it for more than a few minutes and not the month that the trial is supposed to last. BOTH times that I tried to start the free trial it has tried to charge me either immediately or a little bit after I had started the free trial despite the fact that I literally hadn't even been able to start using the free trial yet. Plus, I had cancelled my trial before it tried to charge me the second time. When I tried to go to the feedback section it just tells me "feedback.pretzel.rocks uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH" which made it impossible for me to even ask them about why this was happening. I'm thankful that I keep my cards turned off the majority of the time otherwise I would've been charged money that I wasn't ready to spend on a product I literally couldn't use. If I get any other charges on my card I'll update the review to say so.

Toller Musikkatalog aber leider leidet der Service
Habe den Dienst einige Jahre für meinen YouTube und Twitch Kanal benutzt, leider kommt es seit der Übernahme immer mehr zu Ausfällen und Claims auf YouTube, die eigentlich nicht sein sollten, da die Musik ja lizenziert und der Kanal freigeschaltet wurde.

At 1:10am on September 14 2024 Pretzel…
At 1:10am on September 14 2024 Pretzel rocks took $15 from my debit card without ordering nothing. The company is running scams. I have the receipt that the company scammed me.

Not safe at all.
Their claim is incredibly dangerous and misleading...will ultimately leave you, the content creator, holding the bag for copyright violations and muted videos.
Edit after Pretzel response:
"Dear Jane from Pretzel,
There are few things to revise in the way of how you're replying to an email.
1. In your reply looks like you're scolding me.
2. Be informed:
My YouTube Safe was on but I said maybe something happened and didn't work, so I turn it off and then on and decided to give it a try one more time in my last night stream, not only that I've got copyright claims on YouTube but I've got a warning from Twitch that three of the songs from the Chill EDM playlist were copyright, if I wasn't having the Copyrighted Audio Warnings on, on Twitch, I was going to get DMCAed.( Multiple instances of copyrighted audio have been detected in your VOD(s) within the past 24 hours.)
3. If I embarked on the free trial that means I'm a future paying customer, which means if everything works as advertised you'll get the money but here was not the case.
Update your playlists and keep content creators save, as you advertise.
I have unsubscribed and hope not to work with you again.
Regards."
Now I'm using SoundStripe and I didn't get any copyright claims.
And now about TrustPilot, pretzel shouldn't have information about me...on pretzel I've used an email and on Trust Pilot other email, how come pretzel knows what was about my review?!

Hello Andy Raichert,
We appreciate you taking the time to review your experience.
We're also disheartened to hear you're dissatisfied and would like to address your concerns below.
Our number 1 priority is to ensure that content creators using our platform are 100% safe from DMCA Takedown Requests and Copyright Strikes.
That said, we ask our users for a few things to ensure we can meet those expectations. After a look into the account you are associated with, you contacted us regarding YouTube claims received on March 24, 2024.
We then informed you that because we could see you'd recently connected your YouTube channel on March 22, 2024, and had not toggled on the "YouTube-Safe" filter at the top of your Pretzel player, this was the reason you'd received claims.
All tracks claimed were not listed as safe for use when you utilized them. We specify that the entirety of our catalog is not safe for use with YouTube, so we emphasize confirming you've filtered the music in the player correctly.
Finally, VOD Mutes are common with Twitch's platform. As much as we wish this were not the case, it is an obstacle we are facing now. The takeaway, however, is that once again, you will not be issued DMCA Takedown requests or Copyright Strikes that lead to demonetization.
We do our best to be candid about our services because transparency helps build trust between ourselves and our users. We offer easily accessible FAQs that address all the above-mentioned factors. We've linked those below, and we hope you will find the information helpful.

We are always here to help, and wish you well!

Guten Tag
Guten Tag, sage und schreibe seit Monaten ist es nicht möglich sich über die Windows 10/11 Software von Pretzelrocks bei Twitch anzumelden, auch nicht auf MacOS. Da die Cokkies nicht bestätigt werden können, und auf dem Anmeldebuton nix passiert. Bin hier nicht der Einzige der sich nicht anmelden kann. PretzelRocks ignoriert es einfach. Anstatt hilfe anzubieten

Hello Trywins,
Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. We're sorry to hear of your experience.
To begin with, your concerns about the web app are completely valid and we would like to share a brief explanation. Twitch made revisions to their site in September of 2023. Due to these changes, we were also prompted to make updates to ensure the compatibility of Twitch login through our service. Upon further investigation, our developers encountered a few unexpected obstacles that took much longer to resolve than anticipated.
We understand that the complication negatively impacted your experience and that of many of our other users, and we again are sincerely apologetic.
We'd like to assure you that a positive user experience is our first priority, which is why we highly encourage users to continue accessing the Pretzel player through the web browser. With the exception of a few non-paid added features, the web browser operates the same way.
Of course, we in no way mean to diminish your concerns and the effect this had on your ability to utilize the system in the way that works best for you.
That said, we're overjoyed to share that our team rectified the issue for most with the exception of Mac users. While we're still working diligently to resolve the issue for everyone affected, we are happy to share that there has been progress and we expect that the app will be back up and running for everyone very soon.
We, of course, will continue to update our users and are always happy to work with you in the meantime to provide any other temporary solutions that we can.
Please submit a new support ticket in Discord or email [email protected] directly with any follow-up concerns or questions, and we look forward to continuing to work with you!

Antworten nicht!!!

Man kann fragen warum die verdammte App nicht funktioniert, aber man bekommt nie eine Meldung!
Vermutlich nur noch gierig nach Geld statt nach guten Kundensupport.

Hello Marcel Hardt,
Thank you for taking the time to reach out, and share your thoughts.
We're very sorry to hear that you have not received a reply in the past or that it was delayed; this is not customary. Our normal response time is between 1-3 business days (M-F). That said, if we have, in rare circumstances, gone over that timeframe, this would most likely be due to excess in queries received or due to holidays. If that's the case, we will always do our best to communicate longer response times with our users.
Regarding your concerns with the web app, we can share that Twitch updated their service in September of 2023, which required us in return to make updates on our end as well. Unfortunately, the issue was prolonged due to unforeseen circumstances that no one could have predicted. We understand this situation caused quite a hassle for users, but we are happy to share that the web app is now up and running once more for PC users. For anyone using a Mac, we're working diligently to ensure they will also have access soon and will announce this when the time comes.
In the meantime, we'd encourage Mac users to log in to the website directly using Google Chrome instead. Of course, we do understand there are certain benefits to being able to access the app and if those hinder your experience, we're happy to discuss other options until we reach a final resolution.
We are optimistic that we can assist in any situation. Please feel free to submit a new support ticket in Discord, or email [email protected] so we can get your account updated. Be sure to include the email address linked to the account and/or Twitch ID or Youtube Channel ID.
We thank you again and look forward to assisting you!

Keine Möglichkeit mit der Windows App…
Keine Möglichkeit mit der Windows App sich anzumelden da keine Cookies von Twitch bestätigt werden können. Wer bei dieser Firma bezahlt ist selber schuld.

Hello Zedlog,
Thank you for sharing; we appreciate your critique.
With that said, we are sorry to hear our recent Twitch/App login issue did cause disruption to your service. Twitch made updates to their service that required us to make changes on our end, this is standard.
However, what we initially thought would be an easy fix, quickly proved to be a much more challenging task due to a few unexpected roadblocks. We know this isn't ideal, and we are disheartened that the matter led to users like yourself being inconvenienced.
While we'd hoped that your ability to log in still and utilize the services from the web browser would provide a bit of relief; we understand there are certain benefits to being able to access the site by web app.
The good news is that this issue has been addressed, and although we're still working to resolve this situation for our Mac users, all PC users should now have access to the app again. We expect we'll also have a resolution for Mac users soon, and will be sure to announce this.
Finally, we're hopeful our response provided clarity and will happily address any follow-up questions or concerns you may have.
Feel free to submit a new support ticket in Discord, or email us at [email protected]. Please be sure to include the email address linked to the account and/or Twitch ID. General responses are sent within 1-3 business days (M-F).
We look forward to hearing from you!
